The net buys "the import food" mostly does not have the Chinese label

"My colleagues said that the imported bread was very authentic and delicious, so I bought some from the Internet." Recently, members of the public should have bought a few packs of Vietnamese-made Tipo White chocolate bread in Vietnam. "The same brand of 300 grams of dry bread in the market is selling 18 yuan a pack, and now this is only 8.9 yuan a pack." ”

In the good luck, should miss the heart also has a little uneasy, because this bread dry independent packaging, in addition to production date is using Arabic numerals, the rest of the text and symbols are like "scrawl", simply can not understand. There are several countries on the package, Japanese, English, there is no Chinese. "I used to buy imported food in the supermarket, which has Chinese markings on it, but there's nothing on it." ”

The author conveniently from the search to the page to enter several shopping sites, found that many of the packaging bags marked all for the foreign language, only through the packaging of goods on the pattern of speculation inside the original food, and some food if not to see the shop introduction, or even can not tell what the bag is what food.

Imported prepackaged foods must have Chinese label

The Food Safety Act 66th expressly stipulates: "The imported prepackaged food shall have Chinese label and Chinese manual." Labels and brochures shall comply with this law and other relevant laws and administrative regulations of China and the requirements of national standards for food safety, indicating the origin of food and the name, address and contact information of domestic agents. Pre-packaged foods shall not be imported without Chinese labels, Chinese instructions or labels, and the specifications do not conform to the provisions of this article. ”

"But in any case, the quality of the food is not guaranteed, and once there is a dispute it is difficult to find a manufacturer or business to defend effectively," the business staff explained. ”
